I just hate Holtz so much that I was rooting for Abraham during the game today.
And don't give me the loyalty crap since I still wasted my Saturday afternoon to watch this shitty product.
It definitely was more enjoyable today watching. I had no doubt we would lose the game, so there was no anger or disappointment when we did. I've watched enough Skip performances against USM to know the pucker drill. If we win next week, it's not by much, and it will be because of an outstanding defensive performance.
Abraham is better than J'Mar Smith....okay, I'll stop there first. What's that mean? ANY halfway decent Division I QB, and many in the lower divisions, are better than Smith. So, it means absolutely nothing to be "better than J'Mar Smith." Second, Abraham lacks the physical attributes most DI programs need, and especially what we need.
Going back 25 years or so...look at who Tech has had:
Jason Martin
Tim Rattay
Luke McCown
Colby Cameron
Cody Sokol
Jeff Driskel
Ryan Higgins
Does Jack Abraham measure up to these QBs? Not based on what I've seen. I know Smith doesn't, and I see nothing in Abraham that makes me think he would've been the next in line to be a truly GOOD Tech QB. Now, remember, we're NOT talking about what it takes to be a good QB for Bama, or for LSU, or for Ohio State, or any such program. They often get by with crappy QBs because they are so dominant everywhere else. All they really need is a "game manager" who won't screw up things. That's not us. The position of QB is HUGE at Louisiana Tech. We can not afford a slouch.

In latech's defense, Tech fans get to determine their own school loyalty. You don't get to determine it for anyone other than yourself. latech may be more loyal to Tech than you and me together X 100. He may be doing things for Tech than neither you or I could ever do. He may just care more about LA Tech than he does Skip Holtz.
Many people believe we should be an all or nothing culture. You love absolutely everything about Tech or you hate absolutely everything. Sorry to go political, but it’s like Trump supporters. They are not allowed to like some things he does/says and hate other things. We aren’t allowed to love Tech football, but hate halftime (wadies and wentalmen), or the coaches, or their play calling, or the AD’s ineptness, or basketball OOC scheduling that my 6 year old could do better. I have been loyal for 36 year, and I won’t stop now, but we are allowed to be disappointed.
